Soup
Augusnippets Day 1
Summary: Bilbo didn’t move much. Too much effort. Too much pain. It was much easier to sit on his knees and wait to be noticed.
Rating: Mature
Warning: Violence
(Written for @augusnippets. Day 1, Path of Hurt: Brainwashing. Ao3 upload here.)
~~~~~~~~
Bilbo didn’t move much. Too much effort. Too much pain. It was much easier to sit on his knees and wait to be noticed.
He didn’t know where he was. He barely knew who he was. He floated in a soup-thick fog that filled his head and blurred his vision, making it hard to think. Bilbo couldn’t even feel the rough pinch of the gravel that bit into his skin as he knelt. He felt it once, though. That’s how he knew it was there.
Sounds swirled around him- grunts, growls, wet coughs and sneers -but nothing really penetrated the fog. He only knew that whenever he was spoken to, it led with a raspy snarl: “Halfling.”
Bilbo tilted his head. Before him was a greenish gray mass of flesh, lumpy and covered in pustules and rusty iron bits. He had no idea what it was, but it spoke to him.
“Fetch my dinner. Get some good fat pieces.”
As Bilbo reckoned with that instruction, trying to remember what the words ‘fetch’ and ‘dinner’ and ‘fat’ all meant, he blinked and was suddenly standing twelve paces from where he once sat. With bleary eyes and furrowed brows he looked about himself, fighting to recognize anything. Dirt, perhaps, and some stones. Those thoughts stumbled off the planes of his mind as they came, leaving him with nothing.
He came back to himself, finding in his hands a grimy, chipped bowl, filled to the brim with an oily broth and teeming with greyish pork. On his skin was the heat of a barely-controlled fire. Bilbo raised his head, and looked about himself once more.
“Get moving, rat!”
Bilbo flinched, and broiling hot broth splashed over his hand. He felt it, but the pain didn’t stay. He looked down at his rugged, reddened hand, and found a number of blisters, splinters, cuts and scrapes that his mind refused to catalogue.
“Who are you?” Bilbo slurred out, looking up at a hulkish blue smear that was lit from the back by the fire.
“It needs another dose. Prog!”
Bilbo jumped and flinched again. More hot soup splashed onto his fingers. Sudden and swift movements erupted around him and his head was forced back, the bowl ripped from his hands. The mouth of a glass vial was shoved into his mouth, knocking into his bruised-feeling teeth, and a foul, thick syrup was poured down his throat. He didn’t have the wherewithal or control to choke or sputter, and was instead made to feel it as it slid from his tongue. Drool drizzled off his chin and down his neck, his hands scrabbled at the boarhide skin of the hand that gripped him, and he convulsed with lurching gags.
His knees buckled when they released him and shoved him forward, and he dropped into the dirt. The fire blasted heat across his tender, stinging back.
The ground soon fell out from under him, his skin lost all sensation, and his head floated away into the ether, uncertain whether it would come back down again.
-----
Bilbo swirled into awareness later on. No telling how much later. His head and body pulsed with numbness, his chin lax and eyes limp.
The world, if that were truly what it was, was blurry again. Everything smudged like wet paint. His knees pressed into the gravel once more. Couldn’t feel it, still.
He felt as though he were alone. Not existentially (though that was also true) but physically. His head lolled in either direction, and no movement caught his attention.
The day was dark and cooling, the air bereft of sound.
Bilbo's eyelids dropped and he scanned the ground in front of him. Seeking recognition. Leaving empty-handed.
He drifted off again.
“Psst. Bilbo!”
Bilbo jerked awake and opened his eyes, and time had passed. So he thought. It was darker now, and the air was frigid cold. There was a cacophony of noise going off right out of his range of comprehension. Murmured clangs, muted scuffles, quiet roars.
“Over here!”
Someone was speaking. To him? They weren’t calling him ‘Halfling’. Bilbo rolled his head to the side.
“Oh Mahal.”
A blur emerged from the darkness and captured Bilbo's whole attention.
“Who are you?” Bilbo garbled. His eyes strained to keep focus.
“It's me.”
And then the blur was knelt in front of him, and Bilbo could almost see its face clearly. Young and handsome, with coarse scruff and a steely look in his eyes.
“It’s Kíli,” the blur said.
Bilbo stared blankly, mind wrenching every drop of recognition it could muster. The face was familiar. The name hurt to think about.
“Bilbo.” Something touched Bilbo’s shoulders, then took his face, and Bilbo could just about feel the seams of a glove pressing into his skin. “Bilbo, it’s Kíli. Kee. How badly are you hurt?”
“K...Kee?” That name, Bilbo knew that name. He knew that name. His brain was sluggish as jam.
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s Kee.” He brushed the hair off Bilbo’s forehead. “Come on, stand up. We’ve got to be fast. Fee’s on lookout.”
Bilbo’s body moved with the command.
The blur named Kee pulled him to his feet. “They didn’t tie you up,” he noted.
Bilbo was standing now, ready and waiting for a new instruction. They were so much easier to follow than to think of.
“Are you hurt? Can you walk?” Kee’s hands hovered around him.
He’d said another name, too, and Bilbo struggled to recall it.
“Ffff…F-Fee?” Garbled Bilbo, eyes listlessly scanning the area around him.
“Like I said, he’s on…lookout.” Kee seemed to falter. He continued. “I’m going to carry you. Okay?”
Bilbo looked down at his hands. He saw the scars and burns and streaks that covered them as if they were anew.
“Okay. Right. Here we go!”
Bilbo’s world tumbled sideways and his mind couldn’t keep up with the movement. Bright, white light stabbed him in the eyes and forced them to close as his body was jarred and jostled.
He faded away again, but not before a pale face with blonde hair came into his line of sight and something warm took hold of his numb fingers.
-----
“Open your eyes, lad. ”
Before Bilbo properly woke, his body responded to the call. A smear of piercing firelight and moving colors swayed before his eyes and made him instantly nauseous.
He toppled to the side and vomited.
Hands snatched at him and propped him up, keeping his face from landing in the puddle he’d made.
“Hold him up! Turn his head. Move! Move!”
Gnarled hands pushed against his throat and Bilbo began to panic. He thrashed away from the body in front of him but only landed against another one. Big, warm, a throbbing heart within it. The arms of the body lashed around his middle and held him still, but Bilbo felt no fear.
His breath was quickened and uneven, but as he dragged in air through his nose he smelled pine sap and pipe smoke.
From Bilbo’s lips he gasped wetly and pushed against the wall of flesh at his back, his eyes unseeing and his skin alight with nerves. He felt every scrape of cloth against his sternum and the dig of the seams under his arms. His feet were poor and hurting and his head pounded and pounded and screamed with deep-seeded pain.
Noise, all the noise around him and emitting from him, it was overwhelming to Bilbo. He shuddered and wordlessly groaned and grunted and pleaded.
A heavy hand came over his eyes, blocking the light.
A thick arm wrapped around him, holding him still and steady and anchoring his head to his neck.
Bilbo whimpered, grasping at the strange arm but helpless to move it.
“They will not touch you again,” was whispered into his ear. “No one will touch you unless I permit it.”
And Bilbo knew this voice too. Knew it. Knew it.
“Thorin,” Bilbo warbled. “Thorin?”
“I’m here.”
A soft, whiskery kiss was pressed to his ear. Thorin’s head nuzzled into the top of his, his lips dragging gently in Bilbo’s hair.
"I have you. You're in my arms," he said in his lowest, softest voice.
“Thorin…” Bilbo hiccuped. “Oh-”
Thorin’s arm- Thorin’s arm, and no one else’s -tightened over his chest. His breath was deep and steady in Bilbo’s ear. His hand was the one that covered Bilbo’s eyes, but as Bilbo began to calm he brought it away.
Bilbo’s vision focused. At last, at last, he could see again.
The whole of the Company was there, gathered around a hastily-set fire and looking with varied levels of anxiety at Bilbo. He could make out the expressions on each of their faces. Some of them, such as Óin and the princes, were close-by, within arm’s reach.
“Oh…” Without warning, Bilbo’s face screwed up with emotion and he began to sob.
Thorin was then wrapped around him in every possible way, cradling Bilbo's body in his lap and tugging him close to his broad chest. He shushed him, whispering soothing inanities over him interspersed with calming kisses to his cheeks. As far as Bilbo knew, the rest of the Company turned away politely.
"Shh, shhshhshh," Thorin whispered.
“Wh-what-” Bilbo sobbed out as he clung for his life onto Thorin’s arm. “What h-happened?”
No one spoke for a while. Bilbo himself nearly forgot he asked the question. Then Kíli’s voice growled out from the side and drew all the attention to himself.
“Orcs,” Kíli grunted. “We got our arses handed to us and they took you to keep. Gave you a poison that messed with your mind. You couldn’t tell your own arse from a hole in the ground when Fee and I found you.”
“Kíli,” Thorin cautioned.
“What?” Kíli shot right back. There was a shadow over his face that concerned Bilbo. “It’s true! I mean, we-we found him and…” Kíli dragged his hand through his hair and got a wild look in his eye as he recalled. “And we thought he was dead! If you weren’t kneeling like that I would’ve thought we were too late.”
His voice broke on ‘late’. He wiped the back of his mouth with his hand and looked away.
Bilbo’s lower lip quivered in sympathy. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Thorin growled behind him, and Kíli’s head whipped back around, looking every bit like a regretful and scolded puppy.
“No, no, I wasn’t-” he sighed, lips pinching. “It’s not your fault. It was the bloody fucking orcs .”
Bilbo huffed a little laugh that felt foreign in his chest. “I don’t even remember there being any orcs,” he said.
Óin’s brow came down, and his eyes became a little more sharp. “How much do ye remember?”
“Nothing,” Bilbo said at once, and meant it. “Really, I hardly recall a thing. It was all…blurry, and frightening. But I don’t remember anything specific.”
“Not even the whipping?” Ori’s terse voice arose from around the fire. He was shushed immediately by his brothers.
“Whipping?” Bilbo parroted. “No, I…was I whipped?” He turned and craned to look at Thorin, but couldn’t meet his eyes from that angle.
Thorin sighed, heavily. “Among other things.”
“Other things,” Bilbo repeated, quietly, once more. His eyes unfocused as he tried to recall his lost time.
“Stop trying to remember,” Óin scolded. “Give yer mind a rest. It’s been through enough. If you remember on yer own, that’s fine. But don’t force it. Wouldn’t be such a bad thing if you never end up remembering it at all.”
“Never remember!?” Bilbo startled and tried to sit up, but Thorin’s hold prohibited him. It also allowed him to finally feel the deep strain and sting in his back, and the rubbed-raw feeling of the skin of his palms. He looked down at them, then Óin’s old hand took him by the chin and snatched his head up.
“Never mind that, now,” he said in as gentle a tone as Bilbo knew him to be capable of. “I rather think you’d be better off without the knowledge. After all, what’s a week in the scheme of life anyway?”
Bilbo’s eyes bugged. “What?”
It was Óin’s turn to look sheepish as Thorin growled, and no one refuted or corrected him.
A week. Lost. Bilbo was beginning to feel dizzy again.
Suddenly he was lifted off his feet and plopped into a bridal carry, and he was looking up the nose of one ruggedly handsome king.
“I’ll take first watch,” Thorin gruffed as he stepped around the fire.
“Thorin-” Bilbo ventured.
“Hush.”
Bilbo hushed. He was laid in a plush bedroll, padded with furs and lush with knitted blankets. Far better fare than they had on the road to Erebor. Around them they could hear the company murmuring amongst themselves
“Thorin?” he asked again.
“You have had a very, very long day, ghivashel.” Thorin’s voice rumbled over him like thunder, and it sapped the tension from Bilbo’s limbs and made him feel boneless and heavy as he was tucked securely in. “It would heal my heart to see you rest.”
Bilbo’s eyelashes fluttered involuntarily. “Don’t think you’ll need to worry ‘bout that,” He muttered around a yawn.
As Bilbo’s mouth closed, Thorin captured his lips in a chaste, butter-warm kiss that melted Bilbo down to his bones.
“Sleep, my love. I’ll be here when you wake.”
Bilbo didn’t quite make that part out, but his body responded to the call regardless. And he slept.
